To this end all available sources in the libraries of Astorga Barcelona San Lorenzo de el Escoreal Felanitx/Mallorca Jaca and Montserrat have been examined and newly evaluated.If Cabanilles?s oeuvre consists primarily of tientos organ hymns and versets the third and final volume contains three versos three pasacalles two galliards two toccatas and such special forms as Paseos de tercer tono Diferencias de Fol as and a Jácara.Final volume of the three-volume Urtext editionNew selection of pieces and musical formsExtensive trilingual Foreword (Ger/Eng/Sp) on the works sources and previous editions as well as notes on registration and contemporary organ building
